"Like the characters in Ballard’s fictions, P. is jury-rigging a private cosmology, in much the same way that he fashioned his ad-hoc shelter, in “Mark the Points of No Return,” from discarded artworks. In that sense, he’s Claude Lévi Strauss’s bricoleur updated for the age of Twitter mobs, drone wars, ​and reality-TV politics, tinkering together a system of myths, symbols, and rituals from whatever’s at hand: The media landscape. The built environment. The flood tide of images inundating the mass unconscious. Technology, which increasingly remakes us in its own image and, more and more, has a mind of its own. Free-floating anxieties and conspiracy theories. The persuasion industries--P.R., marketing, branding, advertising. The psychopathology of everyday life in a world ​spun off its axis by info-vertigo."
